Manju and Jeshan decided they wanted a post-wedding shoot, because
their wedding photos (by another photographer) didn’t knock their socks off –
so they contacted Lipton to do their post-wedding shoot!

“Of course,’ said Lipton. “It’ll be fun!”

With Lipton in tow, Manju and Jeshan headed to Blue Water
Hotel in Wadduwa. Wearing her big fluffy gown, Manju even had her hair and
make-up done by Isuru from Kess, with the help of her cousin Ayesha.

It was a go!

Lipton took the couple around the hotel and took some gorgeous
shots, but when it came to photographing them against a black background,
Lipton got truly excited. Jeshan and Manju had started acting up – Jeshan
showing off his skills at martial arts, kicking high, doing the splits, and
having fun! Lipton captured it all!

Enjoy the photos! Share them!

Fun fun fun!!!

I knew from the beginning that this wedding was going to be
fun! The couple, Milan and Shenzie, and Lipton and I hit it right off. They
wanted a fabulous pre-wedding video and Lipton was full of fabulous ideas.
Theirs was a match made in Heaven and we fit right in!

Milan and Lipton put their heads together and came up with a
fun script for the pre-wedding video, which was to be played as the couple and
the retinue entered the hall. It was a 3-day shoot and the couple and the super
wonderful retinue (which included one of our former brides!) had a blast doing
it. But I’ll save more of the details on that for when I post the video on Lucy’sBuzz.

Lipton and Team ShadeTree left early for the
getting-ready-shots. I arrived at the Jaiq Hilton later, in time to leave with
the crew for the wedding ceremony at Scott’s Kirk. The priest right away
informed Milan that all photos were to be taken from behind the 2nd
row. He wanted a more religious intimacy for the ceremony, so there were to be
no ring photos, or close-ups of the couple. That’s okay, we could deal.

Back at the Jaiq, our video editor and I sat in the
ballroom, while he edited the last bit of the pre-wedding video. Little by
little the crowd filtered in, along with a photography crew! I was confused.
How could there be another photographer there? And the crowd was on the oldish
side and yet Shenzie told me their crowd was young…?

I called Lipton. “Do Milan and Shenzi have a band or a DJ?”

There was silence on the phone. “A DJ,” Lipton said.

“I think we’re in the wrong ballroom.” I went next door,
where they had finally posted the announcement for whose wedding was happening.
Yep. We had been in the wrong ballroom!

I couldn’t stop laughing!

The rest of the night went off without a hitch and for the
whole night I couldn’t stop smiling! My cheeks hurt! Everyone was smiling!

The bride and groom were so so gorgeous and the retinue
ladies were so so darn sexy. The groomsmen were so so awesome! They were a
photographer’s dream!

Thanks to Team ShadeTree; with Tai and Taranga, Sampath, Ishan
and Sidhara!! Great job, Team!
